I’ve taken the bus to work EVERY day this week – i must say, I’m pretty proud of myself. I’ve always thought that Los Angelenos need to find a solution to the myriad of problems that come along with our excessive car use (the smog! Los Angeles was the #1 most polluted city in the US for a looong time, though this year we’re actually #2 – the traffic! – the awful drivers!), and, while I’m just one person, I’m proud that I’m contributing a little by taking one car off the road every day. Plus, I mentioned that it’s free for me to ride the bus, right? Awesome!
And BF asked me if he could drive my car to work, since I’m not using it (and it’s nicer than his) and I told him no. Not unless he wants to start splitting my car payment and insurance with me. And I think that’s fair. The reason that I’M not driving it is not only to save on gas, but also to save on the general wear and tear on my car. If he drives it, I’m not saving anything, and I’m still paying for the car, and its insurance AND eventually for the wear that he wants to put on my car. So, I felt kind of bad, but no was the obvious answer.
